I would like to hear from those of you who have taken one or both of them. I am trying to decide between the in-person review class or the online review. They are both $499 so it isn't the price that can help me decide. I just don't want to sit in ...

@laura09, Thanks for replying! That's good to know! I was worried about that aspect of it!!

@vanessaem, Thanks for replying! This is good to hear! I don't know if I could stand 21 more hours of a structured and rigid class at this point!!

@RunBabyRun, Thanks for replying! I agree!! I like to have things that I don't understand to be clarified as well!

A fantastic book about "non-compliance" is "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures" by Ann Fadiman. It is one of the best books I've ever read and I'm a big reader. It's rea...

Hi, I am a nursing student who also taught Pre-K through Adults for 10 years as certified teacher prior to entering nursing school. The above quote was said by my peds clinical instructor. She's been a nurse for many years and done lecture/cli...

I am starting clinical on a surgical oncology unit (step-down) and want to prepare. -Should I look read over all of my surgical/post-surgical lectures as well as oncology lectures? -Will patients be receiving traditional chemo during their stay? ...

Here in the US we have Vocational Rehabilitation which helps people with disabilities. All 50 states have them as it's a federal program. I listed New York's here so you could look at it and see if Canada has an equivalent type of service. Good lu...

To premeditate something like that for no good reason and to share it (probably gleefully) with another instructor is beyond disturbing. She's one of the ones that give all of nursing a bad name. They are like the nuns of yesteryear. (I went to a C...

When it was in my city years ago, I didn't go because I wasn't sure about where the bodies came from either. I wondered though if the prisoners died of natural causes and it would be ok then. I couldn't decide so I didn't go. I heard it was very, ...

You've gotten excellent advice. I would take it all and handle it when you graduate. It's sad that in 2014 nursing is still one of the few if not the only field where this goes on and the only recourse is to keep quiet and plow through. Nursing s...

Thank you for the replies!! I addressed it the evaluation at the end of the course and may address it with the instructor after I graduate -as some wisely pointed out! I know that in this case she is in a better position than me even though I was ...

I am in nursing school for a second career and worked as an aide in large urban university-based hospital for almost 3 years. This is SO true regardless of the industry. I used to work in a field where I helped individuals on public assistance get b...

Keep going up the chain of command. The fact that she didn't follow the handbook to let you know that you had been warned is key here. How could you improve something that you didn't know about? Hopefully the warning documents at your school requi...

There are a lot of jobs in nursing that are not at the bedside where it appears that most of your anxiety kicks in. One of the posters mentioned having bipolar and anxiety and working as a nurse just not at the bedside. There is more to nursing tha...

This is very typical of the more innocuous "junk" that you would have to put up with. Do not go to a Diploma school. Get your ADN then eventually do a bridge to BSN even MSN. Given that you are in the military, CCAC has a great Veterans program w...

@ StaffNurseMcS- I applaud your bravery and willingness to protect patients. I truly am sorry that you are being treated poorly by your colleagues now but sad to say that I am not surprised. I hope that when I become an RN I have the maturity, wisd...

ALWAYS include a cover letter!!! It is an opportunity for you to SHINE! Share things about yourself that have no section on a resume and/or paint a picture for the "them" why all of your past work experience, school experience, volunteer experience...

Excellent. Too bad it's non-fiction.

I don't think your two bio profs were giving you a backhanded compliment at all. If you have a strong desire to be an MD, then do as so many have suggested research, shadow, question, weigh pros/cons. DO NOT let anyone make you feel inferior for an...

Could it be more of an anxiety thing and NOT a knowing the content thing? Like others have said, you passed nursing school and if you got to 265 you were close to passing. One of clinical instructors told us of a student who failed it 3 or 4 times ...

I tried PMing you again but was denied! Not sure why! Here is the important part of the PM: I was never consistent with herbals I bought so I am not sure what really works. I would research what are the good herbals to deal with anxiety on reputa...

The US Postal Service implemented an "efficiency tool" where the carriers have handheld scanners and a barcode is placed somewhere on the mailbox and they scan it to show what time they delivered the mail. It helps the bosses keep track of who is ta...

Wait, your new baby is hospitalized???? If that is the case, that "fail" is not legit at all in that no wonder you couldn't concentrate! I hope all works out ok!!!
